New Delhi: The National Agency (NTA) has announced on Wednesday that first edition of the Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate (CUET-UG) will be conducted from July 15 to August 10.

Over 11 lakh candidates have registered for the first edition of CUET.

He had also clarified that students from state boards will not be at a disadvantage in the undergraduate admission process and the exam will not give a push to the coaching culture.
